Mr. Sungenesis is shunned by respectable Christians due to his venomous antisemitism.

I wasn't aware that Robert Sungenis was a "venomous anti-semite".

I also wasn't aware that he was being "shunned by respectable Christians".

Has Mr. Sungenis been excommunicated from receipt of the Catholic Sacraments?

If he has not been excommunicated from receipt of the Catholic Sacraments... then are you not taking it upon yourself (as a Layman, acting upon your own autonomous personal opinion) to "shun" a Catholic Brother without any canonically-justified cause?

Maybe you've got some penance to do.

*Your ignorance isn't confined to just that specific issue

I also wasn't aware that he was being "shunned by respectable Christians".

*See prior comment

*Likely not.

*LOL You never learn do you? Please stick to Calvinism. Your knowledge of Catholicism is woefully inadequate.

Now I beseech you, brethren, to mark them who make dissensions and offences contrary to the doctrine which you have learned, and avoid them.

Maybe you've got some penance to do.

*I do Penance, when apt.

*Now, I am about to post something else about Sungenesis, whom you so admire.

I think you will be in agreement with him on this one though. He thinks God has emotions...

HERE IS THE TRUTH -- Courtesy of Robert A. Sungenis of Catholic Apologetics International, a REAL Catholic Scholar, not some pissant with a blog (like most modern front-line Catholic Apologists, Sungenis is an ex-Presbyterian -- i.e., he's not stupid):

*As someone once said, "Maybe you've got some penance to do."

Next Sunday, consider Keeping Holy the Lord's Day by participating in the Eucharist Jesus established in the New Covenant Sacrifice and Meal as the Way to Worship God.

Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you.

The Sunday Eucharist

2177 The Sunday celebration of the Lord's Day and his Eucharist is at the heart of the Church's life. "Sunday is the day on which the paschal mystery is celebrated in light of the apostolic tradition and is to be observed as the foremost holy day of obligation in the universal Church."

"Also to be observed are the day of the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Epiphany, the Ascension of Christ, the feast of the Body and Blood of Christi, the feast of Mary the Mother of God, her Immaculate Conception, her Assumption, the feast of Saint Joseph, the feast of the Apostles Saints Peter and Paul, and the feast of All Saints."

2178 This practice of the Christian assembly dates from the beginnings of the apostolic age.The Letter to the Hebrews reminds the faithful "not to neglect to meet together, as is the habit of some, but to encourage one another."

Tradition preserves the memory of an ever-timely exhortation: Come to Church early, approach the Lord, and confess your sins, repent in prayer. . . . Be present at the sacred and divine liturgy, conclude its prayer and do not leave before the dismissal. . . . We have often said: "This day is given to you for prayer and rest. This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it."

2179 "A parish is a definite community of the Christian faithful established on a stable basis within a particular church; the pastoral care of the parish is entrusted to a pastor as its own shepherd under the authority of the diocesan bishop."

It is the place where all the faithful can be gathered together for the Sunday celebration of the Eucharist. The parish initiates the Christian people into the ordinary expression of the liturgical life: it gathers them together in this celebration; it teaches Christ's saving doctrine; it practices the charity of the Lord in good works and brotherly love:

You cannot pray at home as at church, where there is a great multitude, where exclamations are cried out to God as from one great heart, and where there is something more: the union of minds, the accord of souls, the bond of charity, the prayers of the priests.
